What the paper says

The J-curve is a term used to describe short-run deterioration in the trade balance combined with long-run improvement subsequent to a currency devaluation or depreciation. While the majority of studies have tested the symmetric J-curve concept, the new direction is to test for an asymmetric J-curve. We tested both concepts for each of the 21 two-digit industries that trade between Pakistan and its major partner, China. While we found support for the symmetric J-curve in only six industries, we found support for the asymmetric J-curve in 13 industries. The two largest industries, coded 71 (machinery other than electric with 21.14% trade share) and 72 (electrical machinery, apparatus, and appliances with 16.87% trade share) were found to be in the list.
